Working individually, each student will complete a short (3 to 5 page) personal reflection paper on his or her own experiences learning from failure.
Students should begin by watching the following video:
Each student should identify 3 past experiences in which he or she experienced failure. These experiences may be in a professional, personal, academic or competitive setting.
For each experience, you should describe what you learned from the experience and what you would do differently based upon this learning.
Next, consider your own approach to taking risks and to learning from failure. Identify at least one current situation in which you may be wrong. How might you view this situation differently?
Finally, conclude with your thoughts on how you might most productively approach failure in the future.
